At Queenswater, balconies perfectly complement modern apartment living as an extension of your living space and a somewhere to relax, entertain or enjoy a quiet moment.
Begin styling your outdoor space with comfortable, well-proportioned seating. A compact bistro table to enjoy a beverage, a bench with cushions, or a single statement reading chair can all work beautifully.
Soft furnishings help make the balcony feel welcoming. Outdoor cushions and lightweight throws can add warmth and texture while blurring the line between indoors and out – but make sure to consider water resistance!
Potted plants such as bay trees are also an excellent choice for Scottish weather. Being evergreen, wind tolerant and easy to maintain in a large pot, these provide structure and year-round interest.
Lighting is the final touch. Soft outdoor lanterns or solar-powered lights can transform the balcony in the evening, creating a relaxed atmosphere ideal for unwinding after a busy day or enjoying summer evenings outdoors.
